Abstract

An x-ray examination has been made of the crystallite structure of a sodium chloride crystal grown with a varying growth velocity by the Kyropoulos method. The crystallites are axial in form and their major misorientation corresponds to a rotation about the boule axis and varies little with growth rates between 0.04 and 0.6 cm hr-1, though the cross-sectional area decreases. The structures found at the high growth rates cannot be completely explained by the mechanism proposed by Teghtsoonian and Chalmers, as evidence of polygonized regions was obtained.
